Love this video! Totally true.. I'm moving to Portland next spring from Miami Fl.. visiting Portland since 2007 every year and totally love it.. rain or shine .. my son and family lives there and a big plus, I used to live in California for 30 years between LA and SFO ..I like Miami but rather living where I can enjoy more of nature, outdoors, hiking, good food, nice people etc I will miss warm beaches here but personally, a lot of thumbs up to move to P-town
That's great Gloria, the access to nature has been amazing since moving here. We love being able to go for walks through the woods right down the street. Reach out to us when you are ready to make the move. We would love to help you find a place!
Gloria. For your description of the places you have lived, I think your biggest adjustment will be to the one mentioned in this video. That would be the long dark, rainy winter months. But don't worry. After enduring one full winter, you will know what to expect instead of always thinking, "Doesn't it ever stop raining here" And remember., that rain has the benefit of making Portland one of the greenest cities in the USA. So I say, go for it. Especially with your immediate family in the area to break you in. You sound to be just what Portland needs in a new resident.
I would visit Klamath falls but a month ago I went to Portland and I loved everything about it !!! Something that I always love is just the nature the exposure of it! You see it everywhere and it’s peaceful 💚
That's funny because I feel the opposite way. I just got back from San Diego and was relived to be out of the traffic congestion. Everywhere I went it was packed. Feels so peaceful in Oregon.
Love your video! moving to Portland area this summer for work in Gresham, but have heard not to live there. Could I ask where you might recommend to look for a young (late 20's) professional where there might be other young people. Not really a city guy, but not really wanting a bedroom community either. Thank you!
Thank you Scott! Are you looking to rent or buy? That will have a big impact on the best neighborhood for you and your budget. Why don't you give me a call so I can get more details about your ideal location. 503-739-5209

I don’t know everyone talking is expensive for living but i comparing rent in Miami -ft Lauderdale area vs Portland and Portland rent looks slightly cheaper
@@bojan80 LA and Miami plus East Coast are the most expensive, but for single person to afford their own 2bd, 2ba apartment they'd have to make $30 or more in Oregon
@@bojan80 Why not? They could be a single parent or work from home, Everyone should be able to afford a place of their own to live regardless of size, shouldn't have to have a spouse, room mate, or significant other to do so.

I feel bad for anybodys mental health who has to live in Oregon. I did so much better in life after I left.

Hi, do you have any info on Happy Valley vs Lake Oswego/West Linn? Thanks.
I do! Give me a call and I’d be happy to discuss.
Expensive neighborhood. Most of the NBA players and Chinese form mainland living there.
I heard it is on fire too
Thankfully there are no active large forest fires in Oregon or Washington at the moment!

@@movingtoportlandoregon Thank you very much. That was a fun family adventure. I am a new dad learning about those rather than hanging off a cliff.
I’m just getting more experience we’re I work as a ophthalmologist technician in Los Angeles and moving to Portland
That's great JR, reach out when you are ready to make the move!

After watching how people conducted themselves during the riots I would never fathom moving there.

Low living wages... more like non -living wages, especially for the extremely high cost of living
